Big Woods Bucks team member Rick Labbe, a descendant of the famous Comanche Indian war leader Quanah Parker, is a legendary big game hunter and one of the best all around hunters in North America today. He lives life to the fullest, loving his family, working hard and hunting and fishing as much as he can. He's shot 7 whitetail bucks grossing over 170 inches, and over 50 bucks that weighed more than 200 lbs (and TWO 300 POUNDERS)! At least 26 of the 200 pounders were taken in the hard to hunt Northeast by tracking. He's gone a perfect 20 for 20 with his bull elk tags, harvesting mostly mature 6x6's and has taken 8 bull moose, 18 black bear (with 3 over 500 lbs!) a grizzly bear, more than 200 bobcats, hundreds of coyotes, 3 mountain lions, a wolf, and countless North American game. When he hunts the Northeast, he's partial to the ancient art of tracking, perhaps in part due to his Indian ancestry. He also enjoys archery hunting, spot and stalking, using his muzzleloader and running hounds. He's a great backcountry snowmobiler, he rides horseback, and he can fix most anything that breaks down. It's my pleasure to bring you this discussion with Rick Labbe!

Jim Massett has been hunting the vast Adirondacks in New York since the 1950's, and has taken over 100 mature bucks in his lifetime, most of them by tracking. He carried out many of his bucks by draping them over his shoulders and hauling them on his sturdy 130 pound frame rather than dragging. But the thing that struck me the most, even overshadowing his hunting accolades is the greatness of his character. Jim is a humble man of congeniality, ever willing to downplay his legend to raise up his peers. He's still in better shape than most men 15 years younger and full of life at 86 years old -- and sharper, too! After our recorded conversation about deer hunting and over a glass of wine at his dinner table, we talked about all aspects of life! We laughed a whole lot. It was a pleasure to get to know him and share that time with him, and I'm hoping many people will get to have a little bit of that experience with Jim at Huntstock this year. Jim's ears perk up and thirst to hear other people's stories which can be hard to find these days.

A dairy farmer by trade with around 1,500 head of cattle, Joe DiNitto doesn't get a lot of time to hunt, so he chooses to save his hunting for when the snow flies when he can find a fresh track of a big buck and follow it to a conclusion. Living near the vast 5,000 square mile Adirondack Park, with low deer densities and tough terrain, he's been able to consistently kill 6 year old age class bucks in one of the toughest places to do so. He shares his philosophies and strategies here. Catch his seminar at Huntstock, or hang out with him at the ADK Tracker booth all 3 days - August 11-13th, 2023.

Ryan Gilman of Rhode Island Whitetails (www.instagram.com/rhodeisland_whitetails), an experienced hunter and camper, had an unexplainable encounter with a bi-pedal creature while camping with his wife in Maine during the the full moon called the Hunter's Moon in October 2022. The experience was scary enough, and then stories from the landowner and neighbors added a whole new element!

Ron "Bushey" Boucher was one of 6 panel scorers from Boone & Crockett to score and certify the Milo Hanson buck as the World Record Typical Whitetail in 1993. That started a long friendship with Milo where he accompanied Milo traveling the country to hunting shows. Ron tells the story from the beginning, recalling the fun times he had with Milo. Then comes the Johnny King buck, which many believed would usurp the Hanson buck as the new World Record Typical Whitetail. Boone & Crockett made a controversial ruling, declaring the King buck as a non-typical. Outspoken and acting on integrity, measuring the buck as the Boone & Crockett rule book indicated at the time, Ron measured the Johnny King Buck 5 years after it was killed, reaching a score that would still beat the Milo Hanson buck by 1/8 of an inch, even after 5 years of drying. As a result, his relationship with Milo Hanson came to an end and Boone & Crockett fired him. In this podcast Ron talks about it all. Ron hopes to clear the air on the controversy and patch up his friendship with Milo Hanson. Meet Ron and many more legendary hunters at Huntstock this August 11th, 12th, and 13th at Wildwood Farm in Westminster, MA.

Justin Thibodeau and Mark Mathieu join me to discuss strategies for killing mature bucks. Hunting a mix of suburban southern Maine to larger tracts of woods, these hunters have killed dozens of bucks in the 140s and 150s. Each hunter brings different tactics to the table from aggressive calling on swamp edges to pinch point stand locations. Lots to unpack on this one! Enjoy!

He has seen the deer population go from almost non-existent in the suburbs of Boston to the abundance of deer found today. He hunts whitetail deer in Massachusetts, Vermont, Maine, and Kentucky, and elk, caribou, moose and turkey in many other places. He stays in shape and keeps young by enjoying the outdoors every day.
